It is a source of satisfaction to know that the great majority of boys and girls live up to the requirements of good citizenship, in the care of school property.
The value of a high school education is no longer a matter of debate. The elementary schools should furnish the necessary foundation ; the high school gives the neces- sary complement for the right kind of American citizen- ship. No boy or girl should be denied the educational advantages of a modern high school. It is highly im- portant, however, that students be as careful as possible in selecting a course of work they desire to pursue. It is difficult to change from one course to another without serious loss in various ways. Pupils who are in doubt as to which course to select should seek proper advice be- fore entering the high school.
At the High School graduation exercises in June, the Honorable P. T. Campbell, Superintendent of Schools of Boston, delivered the graduation address. His inspir- ing words on the subject of "Loyalty" were deeply ap- preciated. The Town of Randolph is to be congratulated upon securing so distinguished an educator and orator for this occasion.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Highway Surveyor
Upon being elected to the office of Highway Sur- veyor, my attention was first given to the equipment (which I found in deplorable condition) and buildings of the Highway Department.
I had to purchase all kinds of new tools, new Adams Leaning wheel Grader and new Root Cutter. I also purchased a stamp (steel) for marking the equip- ment bearing the initials R. H. D.
All equipment, including plows was then taken in, overhauled, painted and is being kept under cover when not in use.
New foundation and sills were then placed under the Roller House and the Roller was overhauled.
Care was given to the drainage problem in all sections of the town in so far as my appropriation would permit, new fences were built and old ones re- placed on South, Union, Lafayette and Liberty streets. All streets and extensions that were accepted (with the exception of one) were tared and all old streets were repaired in so far as possible.
I wish to take this opportunity to strongly recom- mend that special attention be paid to the drainage situation this year as lack of drainage is the principal cause of streets being washed out.
I wish to also take this opportunity to thank the citizens for their able assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. FREDERICKSON,
Highway Surveyor.

Report of the Tree Warden
January 15, 1932.
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :
The public shade trees of any community are an asset and an ornament to the lovers of nature. What is more pleasing to the eye than to motor along the highways lines with beautiful shade trees when the foliage is in full bloom ?
The taking over, by the State, of North Main Street as a State highway and the removal of many of our grand old trees has destroyed the beauty of our main street, that has been a pride and a heritage of a gen- eration. To my mind more trees were removed than was necessary.
Roadside trimming was carried on as much as pos- sible and bad corners cleared so that the view would not be obstructed. More work needs to be done this year.
The town would do well to establish a nursery so that young trees could be raised for street planting. The cost would be very small.
Let our motto be-PLAN TO PLANT ANOTHER TREE.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN T. MOORE, Tree Warden.

Report of the Moth Superintendent
January 31, 1932.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The Gypsy and Brown Tail moth situation for the year ending December 31, 1931 is very satisfactory.
Spraying operations were carried on during the season as far as possible. The Elm beetle was found in large numbers in the past season and much work was done destroying them with success as far as our ap- propriation would allow. More spraying must be done this year to hold them in check. The Tent caterpillar and the Fall webb worms should also be taken care of. All wild cherry trees should be cut down and burned, also all brush heaps and rubbish, which will help eliminate many egg clusters of these pests.
The sprayer will have to be overhauled and a few new parts purchased, also some new hose.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN T. MOORE,
Local Moth Supt.

The North Randolph School was connected to the Fire Alarm System during the year; also a street box placed at the East Randolph School.
Except for new elements in the batteries and slight changes on the lines, due to state road construction, the Fire Alarm System will not need any great amount of repairing this year.
The work of this department, as in former years, was performed with the same regard for the best in- terests of the town, the members all working to make this department as efficient as possible.
I wish to thank all persons for any assistance which has been rendered during the year.
HAROLD L. BAILEY,
Chief of Department.

Report of the Park Commissioners
Your Park Commission has held semi-monthly con- ferences since its appointment at the March, 1931, town meeting, and has given much attention to the recrea- tional needs of the young people of the entire town. It was decided to devote the major part of its activities to the development of the E. Fannie Belcher Park, on account of the fact that the location was central and that there were opportunities for a safe skating pond, which could be economically and quickly made avail- able, without detriment to surrounding property ; that after a skating pond had been created, a park could be developed.
Sixty thousand square feet of skating pond is now in readiness; the adjoining land has been drained ; much valuable fertilizing material, which can be sold by the town at a good price, has been unearthed by the steam shovel; pathways have been built; great rocks excavated; and the dead wood has been cut and dis- tributed to citizens in exchange for their labor.
This work was made possible by donations from public spirited citizens in and out of town; by three entertainments from which about $325 in cash was rea- lized, and by much volunteer labor on the part of civic- minded men and boys.
Your commission recommends that it be allowed the use of the town's street equipment in the future,
212
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
when this equipment is not in use by the street depart- ment, the expense for same to be paid out of the ap- propriation granted to the Park Commission.
